Applicants applying to NHMRC's Translating Research Into

key strategy for the institute. The Institute funds seven Translational Cancer
Research Centres and Units that aim to encourage collaboration
between academic and clinical leader with both substantial cancer
treatment facilities and commendable programs in relevant research
disciplines to integrate into interdisciplinary and translational
enterprises focussing on cancer control. It is envisaged that
Cancer Institute co-funded TRIP fellows would have the opportunity
to be linked to a translational cancer research Centre or Unit to
provide a supportive academic and translational environment.
Specifically CINSW funded TRIP fellowships will address one or
more of the following goals:
- Implementing evidence based models of care that reduce demand
on acute cancer services
- Improving cancer clinical treatment practices
- Improving symptom, supportive care or psycho-social outcomes
for people with cancer
- Improving cancer outcomes for priority populations under the
NSW Cancer Plan 2011-2015
